Default **wibble** runner slot thingy system **wibble**

Couple of old drawer slides from a desk or file cabinet?

OK, I know what I'm looking for but not sure what to type into the
search engines to find it and I'm hoping someone can help.


I have a table which my model railway is on and it's like a pasting
table that the legs fold down. Because of the layout the controls are
situated under the table on a smaller table. But I want to place them
on the underside of the table so I have constructed a box for the
controls to be housed in.

To attach this box to the table I want use a runner slot thingy system
so that it can be removed before I fold the legs down.
Basically and as simply as I can explain I want to put two "hook"
runners on the top of the wooden box holding the controls and two
recieving hook runners on the underside of the table so that the box
can be slid on and off at whim.

Now I hope that makes sense and some of you wise and worldly people
can point me in the right direction.


Thank You.

PS. I've looked at drawer runners but most don't work upside down or
require a twist to engage the two seperate components which wouldn't
work in the location!
